Two
Mythical Scenes for
orchestra was completed
in 1956, when Sallinen
was Aarre Merikanto's
composition student for
his second term. The work
received its premiere
performance only after a
good deal of pressure
from Prof. Merikanto's
side, and was finally
premiered in a concert by
the Sibelius Academy
Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Jussi Jalas.
The work received opus
number 1, as it was the
first publicly performed
work by Sallinen.
The composer has told
that he was inspired by a
1947 book published by
the Finnish Literary
Society (SKS) Myytillisia
kuvia (Mythical
Scenes/Images). The
second movement of the
work, Kalmanvaen
joulukirkko (The
Christmas Service of the
Dead) is based on the
stories in which the dead
rise from their graves
early in the Christmas
Day morning to attend
their own special
ceremony led by a dead
priest. The opening
movement Kulkue
(Procession) depicts the
dead in a procession
towards the church.
In 2020 Sallinen revised
the score slightly. In
his own words with very
small changes helping the
sixty years younger and
less experienced self.
The revisions mostly
concerned nuances and
dynamics, bowings and
some bridges. The
original structure,
rhythmic and harmonic
world is still the same
as they were when young
Sallinen composed the
work in 1956.

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

A Hymn to the
Thames was commissioned
by James Turnbull and the
Music Director of the St
Paul’s Sinfonia, Andrew
Morley. It was begun in
2019 and completed early
in 2020. There are four
movements played without
a break, which follow the
Thames from its Cotswold
source to the North Sea.
As the first performance
took place in St
ALfege’s Church,
Greenwich, this seemed
appropriate. The solo
oboe represents both a
wanderer along the river
path and the spirit of
the river. The pitch
centres of the movements
spell out the musical
letters of the river
(tHAmES—B natural, A, E
and E flat) so that the
river’s name is
projected across the
whole work. In addition,
the musical letters found
in James Turnbull, Andrew
Morley and my wife,
Teresa Cahill ( who was
born in Maidenhead and
brought up by the river
in Rotherhithe) are
entwined in various
guises. The first
movement grows from the
depths, the soloist
entering with
fanfare-like gestures,
followed by lyrical music
and breaks into a dance
as the river gathers
momentum. The third
movement is slow and
sustained and
geographically the Thames
flows through Oxford. The
music is based on the
well-known In Nomine
‘head motif’ from the
Gloria tibi Trinitas Mass
by the early Tudor
composer, John Taverner,
who was the first
Director of Music at
Christ Church, Oxford.
The orchestra provides a
screen or veil above
which the solo oboe
dreams and ruminates.
This leads directly into
the fourth and final
movement which begins in
the depths once more,
interrupting the oboe’s
held note from the end of
the third movement. The
waters’ increasing
intensity and power are
represented throughout by
a moto perpetuo of quick,
steady semiquavers. Near
the close, the woodwind
play O Nata Lux by Thomas
Tallis, the great Tudor
composer who, with his
wife Joan, is buried in
St Alfege’s. Beneath
this, the lower strings
continue the fast
semiquaver movement of
the river and, above, the
violins are heard as a
halo of harmonics. At the
close, the oboe rises,
opening out to the
future, and celebrating
its voyage, while the
orchestra fades as the
river meets the sea. A
Hymn to the Thames lasts
approximately 17
minutes.

Rich with
kaleidoscopic images,
Papanui Road gives a
vivid 'snapshot' of
bustling central
Christchurch during the
1950s—one that
encompasses not only the
cityscape but much of the
composer's own experience
and spirit. The composer
writes: Having lived
near Papanui Road for
most of my
life—having cycled,
driven and walked on it,
having shopped, eaten and
prayed in or on it, I
feel at home there. As
young people say, it has
'vibes' for me. It
certainly has memories...
This concert overture
tries to hint at the
bustle, the vitality and
the peace of Papanui
Road; an impression
rather than a picture...
For all its pictorialism
this concert overture is
a serious, even a solemn
and nostalgic work. Its
aim is to evoke memories
and the atmosphere of an
important, busy
thoroughfare in the
composer's home town.
